Here in our own country there Is no

nnTlts of the King system of road
dragging Six state** have put “drng

scientific roadmaken* of most states,
now’ saJIshe^jof its practicatdllty. are

done so. I have no quarrel with those
men. For years 1 have been saying
that any tool which will smooth the
surface of the highway and move a lit
tle earth to the center of the road is a
good drag. Put I also would remind
the reader that I have myself spent a
great deal of time years ago trying to
Improve the drag and gave it up as Im
possible. With all deference to the
opinion of others I feel that one might
aa well try to Improve an ax or a
apade. I have teen and know of a
great many different styles of drags.
Home are made of one slab with n
tongue, others are built in the shape of
a V and used with broad end to the
front working both sides of the road
at once, and ao on. Any one of them
la better than no drag and will Im
prove the road If properly used.
However, I have l>een asked to tell
bow to make and use a split log drag,
and. with the concessions made above,
to Indicate that I am more anxious the
road should be cared for than to Insist
It must be cared for by any particular
style of drag, I will confine myself to
my task.

twenty Inches from the ditch end of

At the other end of the slab and as
close to the end ns the strength of the
timber will |*ermlt—say three to six
Inches—we will bore the second hole.
Next stretch a chaik line from center

third hole halfway lietween the other

will bring the other slab up close to

after carefully adjusting the slabs
we can mark for all three hole* on the
rear slab. When these holes are bored
we will prepare three stakes and slip
the slabs on to the stakes (at>out thirty
Inches apart) and wedge them se
curely.
These stakes should be sawed off
smoothly In front or they will clog
the earth as It drift* along the slab,
but the wedges and stake ends may
protrude at the rear, where they will
save you much time and bother by
mutely explalulng exactly how the
slalis are held together.
The hitch may be a strong wire or
chain. A trace chain and one-half Is
about the right length. I’ass one cud

rear end and loop It around the stake;
the other end should be passed through
a hole made for It two or throe inches

BUILDING SWAMP ROADS.
Horatio S. Carlo Tolls of Methods That
Hov* Boon Tried.
To say Just how best to build A good
road or even a fair road over sw&mpy
ground is something that no sane road
builder will attempt to do. The main
reason why Is that there are seldom
two swamps alike, and s* what has
worked in one place would l*e worth
less lu another place. About the only
thing 1 can do Is to relate souk things
that have been done and let yon take
your choice without any guarantee
that they will produce a cure In jrourj
partk ular jneee of road, says Horatio)
S. Earle, state highway commissioner
for Michigan.
One man had been drawing grtvelf
for years. Each year It sank, and the.
road was no better than before. He
drew cobblestones In the winter time’
and threw them Into the ditches along
side of the road. In the spring they;
sank. Next winter he did the same*
thing. In the spring they sank tome,
but not out of sight. The result was
he had two walls on either side of bis
road, so that the muck could not oo?.c
to the side, and there has liefin ho-
sinking of his road since.

the sod across a swamp, hot to haul

mer Dress and Millinery Goods st, and
The beat form of material for build
ing Is the log. The stralghter the log
and the stralghter Its grain the better.
Other things being equal, I prefer the
lightest log. Weight, when needed,
can be added to a light drag, but a
drng constructed of heavy material
cannot be lightened. The weight of the*
driver on the drng will generally prove
sufficient to do good work. If given
my choice I would prefer a log of the
sort of wood lu the following list. In
the order given: Red cedar, walnot,
elm. cypress, soft maple, box elder,
with oak. ash and hickory In a class by

first making s mat of trees and placing
your earth on top of this mat. The
trees should be from one and one-half
Inches to three lochea in diameter. He
rays he built a railroad grade in thl*
way across a swamp which was so-
soft that be could run a pole down
thirty feet by hand, and the grade ha#
stayed up without any trouble for over
ten years.
Another man, tneteed of building a
corduroy road, took the logs and drovr
them down endwise beside the road,
using logs sixteen feet long. He drove
them with a hand pile driver made out
of an elm butt with three handlea. a**
that three men could use It These
logs kept the muck from ooslng to the
side and proved very satisfactory.
Where you have a soft spot In your
road It can often l*e Improved by put
ting a flayer of swale grass or rye
straw orhay over It and then putting
your gravel .on top of that. The hfljr
or straw Is not a water carrier and will
generally hold up the grade until the
gravel has a chance to pack, after
which there will be no further trouble.
